Materials for Display Cabinets

Display cabinets are commercial fixtures used by stores to store and showcase products. Their distinctive designs function as advertising tools to attract customers, making them widely adopted by brands. These cabinets are user-friendly and are primarily constructed from materials such as wood, stone, metal, glass, paint, plastic, synthetic materials, hardware, spray-painted PVC, and melamine finishes.

Among them, wood is divided into hardwood, softwood and synthetic wood; stone includes granite, marble, bluestone, rough stone, pebble and rainflower stone; metal materials include iron, stainless steel, aluminum and alloy. Different materials have different characteristics, and the range of use and price of display cabinets made from them are different.

Advantages and Disadvantages of Display Cabinet Materials and Their Applications

Wood serves as the cornerstone of display cabinets, with its quality directly determining the cabinet's performance. Hardwood, though prized for its high cost and distinctive grain patterns, is prone to deformation and damage, making it ideal for veneer applications. Conversely, cork is susceptible to bending and corrosion. Synthetic materials like plywood and fiberboard have emerged as the preferred choice for wooden display cabinets, effectively overcoming the limitations of both hardwood and cork.

In construction materials, granite and marble are the most commonly used. Granite, with its high hardness and fine texture, is ideal for decorative surfaces, while marble features bold patterns and relatively low hardness. Among metal materials, iron, stainless steel, and aluminum are the primary choices. Aluminum stands out for its versatility, affordability, and lightweight nature. Glass display cases are typically used for showcasing premium products, whereas plastic is widely applied but constrained by size limitations. Paint, however, requires a longer production cycle.

How to Choose the Right Display Cabinet

Exhibition cabinets can generally be categorized into three types: upright cabinets, central upright cabinets, and table-mounted cabinets. Given their unique promotional function, buyers should prioritize coordinated design elements including color schemes and spatial arrangements. The color scheme should ensure the cabinet's aesthetic appeal, while spatial coordination requires not only structural stability and ease of assembly/disassembly/transportation, but also alignment with the store's ambiance and product characteristics.
